News Digest. By The Associated Press Missing plane stirs suspicion South Koreans fear North Korean sabotage of 1988 Olympics SEOUL, South Korea — The sus pected bombing of a South Korean airliner has stirred new fears that communist North Korea may attempt to sabotage the 1988 Seoul Olympics. South Korean leaders have charged their arch rival was behind the disappearance of the Korean Airplane and threatened to end all talks with the north on ensuring the success of the Seoul games. “It is a plain fact that North Korea has intensified its provocative moves,” President Chun Doo-hwan told a special cabinet meeting on the lost plane. Officials in Seoul say the disap pearance of the KAL Boeing 707 on » Nov. 29 somewhere near Burma had all the hallmarks of a North Korean attack. They believe a bomb hidden on the plane tore it apart in midair with the loss of all 115 people on board. They believe the attack is part of a long string of North Korean attacks on the south since the end of the Korean War. The two Koreas, divided since 1945, technically arc still at war since a peace treaty was never signed at the end of the Korean War in 1953. Mil lions were killed and wounded in the war. North Korea has said it is deter mined to “liberate” the south. For years, South Korean leaders have used the threat of North Korean invasion or terrorism as a justification for some of their more unpopular policies. South Korea had long feared that the north would use terrorist attacks to disrupt the games that are a major symbol in the bitter struggle between the two Koreas. The south regards the games as proof of how it has outstripped the north in the race for international prestige and say it proves the superior ity of its booming economy and emerging democracy. International Olympic Committee officials have attempted to defuse a looming confrontation by offering North Korea the right to be a host for some of the events if it drops its demand to be a co-host and takes part in the Seoul games. The North Koreans, who have threatened to lead a boycott by com munist nations if its demands are not met, ended the most recent talks by saying it would deal with the govern ment "that will take power in Seoul after the Dec. 16 presidential elec tions. North Korea, which is one of the most closed and oppressive societies in the world, has told its people that the games will be held in Pyongyang. The south has repeatedly warned the north would mount terrorist at tacks to persuade other nations the games cannot be held safely in Seoul.
